621691 - Nightly update fails to download on Android

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

Using Fennec 20101221 on Samsung Galaxy S, running Android 2.2 Froyo.

The nightly update fails to download:
1. Go to On about:firefox and click Check for Updates.
2. Notification in the title bar: Fennec 4.0b4pre available, Download & Install
3. Click the notification, and "Get the New Version" in the update dialog.
4. The "Downloading: Fennec 4.0b4pre" notification appears and then disappears after 2 or 3 seconds (far too short to complete the download).


The error console displays:
Error: formatURLPref: Couldn't get pref: app.update.url.details
Source file: jar:file:///data/app/org.mozilla.fennec-1.apk!/components/nsURLFormatter.js
Line: 145

That's not surprising because app.update.url.details is inside an #ifdef MOZ_OFFICIAL_BRANDING:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/app/mobile.js#478

nsUpdateService.js tries to get that pref (in get detailsURL()) if the update XML does not supply one:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/update/nsUpdateService.js#1007

So that error is probably just a symptom.

Updating failed for me, with varying issues, ever since the beginning of December...

The app.update.url.details error should be non-fatal; a separate bug 621837 has been filed to fix that.

Are nightly updates working again now that bug 621692 is fixed?

Comment 3

[Steffen Wilberg]

Yeah, looks like this (downloading the update) was fixed by bug 621692. Using the 12-29 build, the download to the 12-30 build completes.

When trying to apply the update, I'm now running into the crash bug 614547...

It was working fine on Mozilla /5.0 (Android;Linux armv7l;rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20101230 Firefox/4.0b9pre Fennec /4.0b4pre 

but now I can still reproduce this on Mozilla /5.0 (Android;Linux armv7l;rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20110103 Firefox/4.0b9pre Fennec /4.0b4pre 

on Motorola Droid 2 (android 2.2) and HTC Desire (android 2.1)

The error console displays:

AUS:SVC Downloader:onStopRequest - non-verification failure
AUS:SVC getStatusTextFromCode - transfer error: Failed (unknown reason), default code: 2152398849
AUS:SVC Downloader:onStopRequest - setting state to: download-failed
AUS:SVC Downloader:onStopRequest - all update patch downloads failed

This might be related to bug 622429 which is breaking the nightly build at the multilocale repack step.
